I have an amazing recipe for you for a super fresh and zippy and delicious sparkling limeaid. This is super simple to make and a delicious alternative to soda or heavier drinks.
My 8 year old loves this recipe. You can adjust this to add more sugar if you prefer- it is a super limey and fizzy drink. Perfect for a warm sunny day or for brunch- especially if you are serving heavier foods.
Here is the simple recipe:
